I faced the same dilemma a few days back. The way I saw it the randonnee ones were only a tenner more and come with pockets. That swung it for me (I like to carry more than a credit card).
For those interested in the fit, I currently fit a 32 in Swrve regular durable shorts and a 32 in Vulpine summer trousers (5ft 10, 70kg).
I ordered both a 32 and 34 of the Randonnee. 34 was too big. 32 possibly a bit tighter than I'd have liked but stuck with it due to the stretchy material not making it such a big issue. They are super comfy and would def recommend.
Moral of the story is - don't size up or down.
Next question: padder merino boxers, vulpine or rapha (they are the same price)?
lmao, is that not true of any underwear?! I assumed (or foolishly hoped) the merino would help wick the sweat away and the padding would be like sitting on a cloud. Sounds like it's a resounding no though so I'll save my 45 quid!
